The smartest thing a man can do to protect his manhood and insure a long life of intimate enjoyment is to take care of his prostate. This includes:

- Getting regular prostate screenings after the age of 50, sooner if problems are suspected
- Exercise at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes
- Eat a low carbohydrate alkalizing diet (no breads, grains and sugars, etc. and lots of veggies and lean protiens)

- Take supplements that have been shown to increase prostate health, such as:

1. Fish oil – Studies show it reduces inflammation in the prostate. 1000mg fish oil capsule per 40lbs is a good rule of thumb; e.g. 160lb male would need to take four capsule per day.
2. Zinc – Prostate fluid contains up to 1000 times more zinc than the blood. Make sure you are getting atleast 15mg per day.
3. Beta-sterol – Studies have shown it may inhibit the formation of 5-alpha reductase and DHT in the prostate and has been used successfully to treat BPH. It may also help reduce estrogen levels and increase testosterone production in men – boosting libido. 150 to 600mg per day has been found to reduce or eliminate BPH.
4. Prostate massage – regular prostate massages two or three times a week is very beneficial for maintaining prostrate health. This can be done by a partner or alone using a special medical device.
